What is better Nikon, Panasonic, or Canon?

I'm looking for a professional camera to get for christmas. What is best? I'm also looking for a macro photograhpy lense, any suggestions?

Nikon or Canon (depends on how much you are spending)

I'm a professional photographer with my own business. I'd never use anything but Nikon! They sell macro's as well

My guess is you are calling ANY dSLR a professional camera and are not looking at a Nikon D3s ($5, 300) or a Canon 1Ds, Mark III ($7, 999) both of which professional photographers buy and use

Here is what is going on with the various makers of dSLR cameras. After you have read the whole thing, you will be better able to pick the right camera for you and what subjects you tend to shoot.
